Glossary

Total volume

General pot volume. As a rule, it is indicated by the working volume of the roaster and the lid — the actual amount of content that can easily fit inside when used for its primary purpose.

The main criteria when choosing by this indicator are the volumes of planned cooking. For instance, dishes up to 4 liters are mainly intended for small families of 2-3 people. Capacities of 4-7 liters are suitable for a larger family. And a larger capacity can be useful for large family celebrations, mass events, and in cafes/restaurants.

Just in case, we remind you that the downsides of a large volume are bulkiness, corresponding weight, and increased cost. Moreover, such cookware requires appropriate space and equipment for effective use. Therefore, a larger volume is not always the best choice — it's worth considering the actual needs and cooking conditions.

It is also worth noting that similar-sized cookware can have different shapes and proportions. See above for more details on shape; and the proportions are related to many nuances that determine the effectiveness of cookware in various situations.

Volume of the lid

The volume of the lid in casseroles plays an important role in the cooking process, as it helps retain heat and moisture inside the cookware, creating a steaming effect. A lid with a deeper volume allows more steam to condense, which then drips back into the casserole, ensuring even braising and preventing food from drying out. It is also worth noting that voluminous lids can be used separately (in conditions where handles are absent).

Dimensions (LxWxH)

The dimensions of the roasting pan, including its length, directly affect the amount of food that can be cooked in it and its ease of use. Standard length of roasting pans varies from 30 to 40 cm, which allows for cooking meals for 4–6 people, depending on the depth and width of the dish. The longer the length, the greater the volume, which is important when cooking large pieces of meat, such as goose. The length of the roasting pan determines how comfortably the product can be placed in it and how evenly it will be heated, as length affects heat distribution during the cooking process.
